⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I definitely prefer the movie, but I loved getting to experience the original source material and seeing the origins of these characters. I loved the emphasis on the town and its people as it added layers to this and made it more than just a shark story. Also, Benchley’s inclusion of scientific specifics elevated the story and made it that much more compelling.
